My medical condition
In 2008, a severe motorcycle accident gave rise to a chronic neurological pain that has since shaped the course of daily life in profound and inescapable ways. What followed was an ongoing process of adaptation — one in which photography gradually revealed itself as a principal source of wellbeing, and in time, as a form of personal therapy.
A sustained dialogue has developed over the years, one in which chronic pain occupies the center. Through successive projects, both those already realized and those yet to unfold. Its many dimensions are explored: the invisible weight it carries, the rhythms it imposes, and the intimate dependence on the medication required to keep it at a tolerable threshold.
Photography, in this context, is neither decoration nor spectacle. It is a means of bearing witness to a chronic condition, complex, and largely unseen and of granting it the visibility it seldom receives.
